2025 Master Gardener Volunteer Plant Sale
Saturday, May 24, 2025
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm, located at 200 Presumpscot Point Rd, Falmouth, 04105
Master Gardener Volunteers will be on hand to assist patrons with their plant selections and to offer growing tips. There will be a broad selection of organic vegetable seedlings, herb and annual seedlings, and native and pollinator plants for sale. Gently used garden tools and supplies, bags of local compost, raffle items, soft-serve by Maine Maple Creemee Co and tool sharpening by Wicked Sharp will also be available. This community-focused event will feature hands-on gardening demonstrations and kids activities led by Master Gardeners.
All proceeds from the plant sale go directly towards supporting community-based horticulture projects, which rely on the expertise and volunteer time of Master Gardener Volunteers. These projects are located across Cumberland County and include large undertakings such as demonstration gardens, Maine Harvest for Hunger initiatives, therapeutic gardens, school gardens, youth programs, and more.

Entering the Garden of Silence: From Seeing to Writing
Thursday, June 12, 2025
5:00 PM – 6:30 PM
Cost: $10, register online and space is limited
Georgia O’Keefe once said, “Nobody sees a flower, really—it is so small—we haven’t time, and to see takes time.” Using this quote as a jumping off point, this writing workshop aims to help you appreciate the beauty in the ordinary and the simplicity in the extraordinary. The art of seeing deeply requires attention, curiosity, openness, and connection. Taking the time to “see” will help restore you to wonder.
We welcome all levels of writers. The workshop will be held at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm in Falmouth and will include a writing prompt, time to experience a moment in the gardens, time to write, and sharing of our experiences. Please bring a notebook or sketchbook and a pen that you really love to write with!
We encourage participants to dress accordingly, as this class is scheduled to take place outside at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm, 200 Presumpscot Point Rd, Falmouth, ME 04105. In the event of rain, this class will take place in the high tunnel at Tidewater Farm.
